Good video. I was very lucky. I got a 2021 R/T plus in a 6 speed manual. It came with a lot of upgrades.

Enjoy your ride. Cool color for sure. Smart to get one before the Hemi disappears in 2024. I have a 2020 R/T Shaker that is loaded and no complaints here at all. It reminds me very much of the 1st gen car that I owned way back in the day. Delightful muscle machines!

Nice ride! I'm so happy that you chose the manual 😊 I was beginning to think that nobody wants to drive a manual car anymore. I also live in the tri-state area, but I love driving manual, '18 RT Plus Shaker with 4 pst Brembo/6 spd and '02 911 Turbo 6 spd. Good luck and enjoy your car 🏁

Like you, I ordered a 2021 RT manual from factory with exact same options (option). Hellraisin. Sold my 2019 RT automatic because I wanted a manual. I own 2 other manual cars. 1972 Roadrunner and 1999 Miata. I'm 1 year in now. The modern fuel delivery has had me struggling to find the best shift points. I find sweet spots almost by accident. Direct injection seems to lag the fuel flow drop off (maybe a software issue). The higher you rev, the quicker you need to shift (careful, don't miss that shift) 1000 rpm drop between throttle application seems the smoothest. I've been short shifting between 1st and 2nd and then run it up to redline the rest of the way. ( Keeps me off "idiots in cars" videos ) It revs quickly in 1st. Recently turned off traction control and it seems to affect fuel delivery. Maybe my imagination, but it makes some sense. I'm shifting better now it seems. Very good review and you clued me into a couple of items I didn't know about. Thanks!

Mark, I agree with you that you have to find the sweet spot when shifting. I think a lot of it has to do with the air temperature outside/humidity/ etc. like you said, the higher you rev the faster you have to go through gears and I have also missed some gears due to revving too high in 1st and second gear. Now I tend to shift by feel and when I am doing a WOT pull I get the best pulls by shifting right before redline line or in some cases closer to 5500 rpm.

Get yourself a leaf blower and blow all that water out from around your trunk, it’s also good for blow drying your wheels, your grill, side view mirrors, door jams.

Thank you! Depends on how long you are going that speed for. I average anywhere from 15.8-18 mpg driving modestly around that speed on my commute to work. If you go that speed on a highway for a longer time each day and don’t do much around the town driving you could get closer to 20 on average.

I have a 2019 in plum crazy. Re: the frozen windows in winter...when you're done for the day, turn all your heat controls up to high...plus the front defroster. Remote start the car 15 minutes before you need to get in it so you can open the door. I'm not sure if the 6 speed has a remote start...sorry My 2016 didn't have the remote start, and there was alot of cold winter mornings I was out there with my wife's hair blower with a long extension cord trying to unfreeze the windows

I booked my Challenger RT 2022 yesterday. Ill be picking it up in around 2 months period. Super nervous and dont really know what to expect. Itll be my first sports car and that too a V8 Hemi. I currently own a 2013 civic so lets see how that goes. Ive heard a lot of bad stuff about American cars and I am kinda scared, but still have faith.

Auto loaders (entry level position and alot of younger guys) loading vehicles onto trains) get a hold of them first for those type shenanigans, then unloaders same senerio and worst of all the truckers that deliver them to dealerships etc. I've seen them floor brand new vehicles and peel rubber before even making it onto their trucks. This after a fine and detailed inspection before driving them to load as to cover their asses for insurance. But screw the person who hasn't even purchased the vehicle yet. 🙄
